Abstract
This paper reports an experimental investigation to test the hypothesis that the critical resolved shear stress is independent of the resolved normal stress on the active slip system plane. The resolved normal stress is varied independently for crystals of constant orientation by applying a uniform biaxial tension stress through slitted rubber strips glued to a flat tension sample. It is found that the critical resolved shear stress is constant until the resolved normal stress on the active slip system becomes twice the resolved shear stress; and then, for further increases in the resolved normal stress, the critical resolved shear stress begins to decrease.
